Yes, at this very moment, a creature over a person's height appeared in the scene.
Lu Zhe wanted to quickly drive the aircraft away, but was also curious about what this thing was!
Then, the thing turned its head and looked towards the aircraft!
Lu Zhe finally saw clearly:
"Is that really a King Kong?!"
"What King Kong, that's a gorilla!"
Whether it's a King Kong or a gorilla:
Lu Zhe was worried it might damage the aircraft, so he reminded them:
"Control the aircraft properly, don't startle it! It can run faster than the aircraft!"
"Understood!"
However, it had still heard the sound of the aircraft and slowly approached.
Just from its appearance, it looked a bit like the Sumatran or Bornean orangutan.
Even if they're not the same species, they're surely very closely related.
Sturdy arms, flat broad face, massive body, and an expression full of curiosity.
It could be confirmed that this mysterious intruder was indeed it.
But how did it get in here?
Lu Zhe was certain that such a large creature living at the bottom of a volcano would not have gone unnoticed by him.
At this moment, it was curiously looking this way.
Lu Zhe regretted not having installed chili pepper spray on the aircraft's jets, so he could have messed with it without reservations.
Well, if this thing got too curious and pounced over to dismantle the aircraft, it would be a mess.
But now, he couldn't rashly control the aircraft to leave either. Staying still, it might not dare to attack outright, but if they turned to flee, it would most likely trigger a chase.
For now, Lu Zhe could only control the aircraft as smoothly as possible, hovering it between the tree branches.
The gorilla cautiously climbed over, carefully stretching out its fingers as if wanting to touch it, but hesitated and gave up.
It could be confirmed that this fellow didn't have much courage.
"Ghhaghha..."
It called out towards the aircraft twice.
Bing Jie pondered: "Is it trying to communicate?"
"That's easy, we have a mic!"
"Then what should we say to it?"
Ning Shu thought for a moment: "Gorillas get curious about sounds they like. If the sound makes it feel pleasant, it might not attack us!"
Lin Qianqian said: "Then let's sing a song! I've heard gorillas get immersed in music!"
Jiang Yao patted Guo'er's shoulder: "Guo'er, it's up to you!"
"Got it, leave it to me!" Tang Xiaoguo cleared her throat and turned on the voice mic: "Little sister sitting at the bow ohoh, big brother walking on the shore..."
The gorilla was startled by this sudden sound and immediately bared its teeth.
"Quick, change the song!"
"Change to what?"
"Think of one gorillas would like!"
"How would I know what gorillas like to listen to..."
"Think..."
"Got it, mmhm!" Tang Xiaoguo started singing again: "The stars light up, illuminating my doorway, letting the lost child find the path back home..."
The gorilla frowned and kept hitting its head.
"Looks like it doesn't like this one either!"
"They say gorillas have the intelligence of 7 or 8-year-old kids!"
"What kind of songs do 7 or 8-year-old kids like?"
"Then there's only this one!" Tang Xiaoguo tentatively sang a line: "Loving you, walking alone down the dark alley..."
As the melody played, the gorilla suddenly froze, its pupils violently constricting for a moment as if its most sensitive nerve had been struck!
"Damn, it actually likes this one?"
"Don't stop, keep going!"
Tang Xiaoguo continued singing: "Loving your unyielding stance, loving how you defied despair without shedding a tear..."
The gorilla was completely immersed, and after a while, it even started nodding its head and tapping its feet to the beat.
The few girls found the scene hilarious and thought recording it and posting it online would definitely make it go viral.
But a few minutes later, Lu Zhe raised a concern: "Hey, we can't keep entertaining it like this. What if we run out of power!"
Shen Bing nodded and said softly: "Yeah, if we run out of power, not only can we not fly out, the gorilla might get angry when it doesn't hear music anymore and smash us."
"Then what should we do?"
Lu Zhe thought for a moment, then whispered in Tang Xiaoguo's ear: "Here's what we'll do. Guo'er, keep singing, and suddenly let out a scream. Then I'll turn on the searchlight to confuse it, and we'll take off while it's disoriented!"
As Tang Xiaoguo sang, she gave an "OK" gesture. She deliberately slowed down her voice, making the melody even softer and sweeter. The gorilla had an almost lecherous smile on its face.
Suddenly, Tang Xiaoguo screamed with her eyes closed, and at the same time, Lu Zhe quickly turned on the lights!
The gorilla was completely caught off guard by the sudden terror, its eyes stung by the bright light, and its heart nearly stopped from the fright, nearly falling off the tree.
"Now's our chance!"
Ning Shu pulled the control stick, and the aircraft ascended in a straight line, quickly gaining altitude!
Then, she activated the auto-return!
However, as they neared the top of the volcano, the aircraft started circling instead.
They were out of power!
Forcefully flying over the volcanic rim was possible, but they definitely wouldn't be able to return, and might even crash onto the slopes.
Turns out, hovering for so long, turning on the voice mic, and using the searchlight had drained the battery beyond expectations.
Ning Shu frantically asked: "What should we do now?"
Lu Zhe thought for a moment, then took over the controls: "No choice, let's land somewhere safe first, then we'll come back for it later!"
"What if the gorilla finds it and damages our aircraft?"
"Then let's take the initiative!"
With that, Lu Zhe maneuvered the aircraft to fly towards the gorilla.
The gorilla, not expecting the thing to fly back, was startled and ran away.
Lu Zhe didn't chase it, but landed the aircraft on a tree trunk near the bird sanctuary.
"We still have some power left. It's not enough to fly back, but we can keep the cameras running. That uses less power. If it comes over, we can scare it off. I'll go retrieve the aircraft!"
With that, Lu Zhe started changing his clothes.
Ning Shu was astonished: "You can't be serious, going to retrieve the aircraft now at night?"
"Yep, this aircraft is too important for us. I'm also worried that thing might damage it!"
Jiang Yao was also concerned: "It's dangerous to go into the jungle on a rainy night!"
Qianqian added: "Especially at night!"
Tang Xiaoguo said: "And with that huge King Kong around, it's too dangerous!"
Lu Zhe said: "Don't worry, I'll bring a gun! Bing Jie, the 52 caliber is too small, let me borrow the 92!"
"You want to go alone?"
"Yep!" Lu Zhe nodded: "Trust me, I can handle that gorilla!"
Shen Bing said: "If you insist on going, I'll go with you!"
Ning Shu suggested: "Or why don't we all go together?"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "I can barely handle it alone, not with five of you..."
"You think we'll just get in the way..."
"So hurtful!"
"Alright, girls! Zhe and I will go, you stay and guard the camp. Now that we have guns, nothing will happen."
The girls knew that if they went, they might really just cause trouble, so it was better for them to stay and monitor the big gorilla from the camp.
"Be careful, you two!"
"Yeah, don't worry!"
Lu Zhe and Shen Bing, carrying backpacks, fire strikers, machetes and bayonets, bid farewell to their companions and ventured into the dark jungle.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
